Dublin, January 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Airport Logistics System Market Report 2026” was added to ResearchAndMarkets.com offer.
The airport logistics systems market is growing rapidly, with projections indicating a significant increase from $7.34 billion in 2025 to $8.09 billion in 2026, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. This growth is attributed to increasing air cargo volumes, increased passenger traffic, the integration of automated check-in and security systems, as well as the development of comprehensive ground handling solutions. Additionally, regulatory measures focused on improving the operational efficiency of airports are having a positive impact on the market.
Going forward, the market is expected to expand further, reaching $11.56 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 9.3%. This projected growth is driven by advancements such as AI-powered logistics, the implementation of comprehensive automated passenger and cargo processing systems, real-time tracking and surveillance, and the integration of smart airport technologies. Key trends include the widespread adoption of automated baggage and cargo solutions, the expansion of airport fleet systems, the integration of passenger boarding solutions, the introduction of advanced cargo terminal operating systems (TOS), and the deployment of warehouse management systems (WMS) as well as automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
The increase in the global number of air passengers is the main catalyst for the growth of the airport logistics systems market. For example, in July 2025, ACI World reported that global passenger traffic exceeded 9.4 billion travelers in 2024, an increase of 8.4% from 2023. This increase in air transportation requires efficient cargo operations, including cargo handling, warehousing, customs clearance, and ground transportation, thereby fueling market expansion.
Industry-leading companies are revolutionizing efficiency and the passenger experience through advanced aerospace services, focusing on improved air traffic management and robust cargo handling technologies. In October 2023, Sterling Global Aviation Logistics launched a new aerospace logistics service designed to accelerate the delivery of critical aircraft components, staffed with a dedicated team and specialized vehicles to prioritize efficient transportation.
A landmark acquisition in October 2024 saw Vanderlande, a Dutch provider of automated logistics solutions, acquire Siemens Logistics. This strategic move aims to strengthen Vanderlande’s technological capabilities and global presence in airport logistics automation by integrating Siemens’ advanced baggage and cargo technologies.
Major market players include Siemens Logistics GmbH, International Business Machines Corporation, Honeywell International Inc., BCS Group, CIMC-TianDa Airport Support Ltd. and many others. The market landscape is heavily influenced by regional dynamics, with North America being the largest market segment in 2025, while the Asia Pacific region is expected to witness the fastest growth in the coming years.
It is noted that global trade relations and tariffs are impacting the market, including inflating the costs of imported automation equipment essential to baggage and cargo handling systems. This pressure is pronounced in the Asia-Pacific and European markets; however, it also stimulates local innovation and adaptation, providing a competitive advantage through reduced dependence on imports.
